LEE COUNTY, Fla.- Members of the Child Exploitation Task Force (CETF) at the FBI’s Fort Myers office are sending out a warning about a man recently arrested.

Nathan Bryan, 39, of Bradenton is charged with the attempted enticement of a minor.

Investigators say during the last 14 months, Bryan posted advertisements on Craigslist and offered babysitting, nanny, and housekeeping services to gain access to children.

The CETF first made contact with Bryan during undercover online chat sessions, after learning he was attempting to obtain babysitting jobs by answering online classified ads.

Authorities are asking anyone who may have hired Bryan for babysitting or housekeeping services to contact the FBI Tampa Field Office at 1-866-838-1153 or at tampa.division@ic.fbi.gov.

Bryan has resided in Bradenton and Orlando.

Bryan appeared in federal court for a first hearing last week and was detained without bond.
